John Bolton: ‘If It Can Happen In Paris, It Can Happen In Washington Or New York’

Former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. John Bolton sat down with Greta Van Susteren to speak about the recent terrorist attack in Paris and how “Western civilization” is under attack from Islamic terrorists.

“This is a big, big event,” he said. “If it can happen in Paris, it can happen in Washington or New York.”

Bolton added that the Obama administration and the country need to treat these attacks as acts of war, not random crimes; and if they are truly worried about keeping their citizens safe, then they need to confront these terrorists at their epicenters in North Africa, Iraq, and Syria.

“Unless the president of the United States understands that Western civilization is under attack here and responds accordingly,” he concluded, “we will simply see this tragedy repeated endlessly.”
